How Do I Discover My Purpose?

When I was a young, first-time mom, I remember thinking, "If my only goal in life is to give this little baby boy of mine a happy life, then that's what I'm going to do!" As my husband and I added more children to our family, I began to think, "Am I only called to have babies and be a mother and wife?!" I wasn't completely sure of my purpose, though. Was that all there was to my life? Was I only made to birth children?! Of course not. But that is where my purpose began. You see, I believe I was called to reach mothers and youth in a unique way, even if I had no idea what that unique way was!

I am passionate about so many things and they all really do tie together with women and youth:

Can you see how these things go together? I can...now. I honestly couldn't see the big picture of this many years ago!

So how do you figure out your purpose? Well, look at the things you do on a daily basis. Are you a wife, mother, do you work, are there things you're passionate about? That's where you begin! Write it down. Look at what you do every day, inventory what you're passionate about, and that will guide you toward your purpose!

How have you determined your purpose? I'd love for you to share!

What is My Purpose?

The other night, I had a dream that our associate pastor made a feature film entitled, "What is My Purpose and How Do I Know I'm Doing It?" Pretty profound, isn't it? That I would have a dream about this question is simply my spirit revealing things, I believe that is what was happening anyway. So in the next few posts, I want to talk about this with you. I want to know what you think about your purpose, how we discover our purpose, and how we know we're living that out!

So these posts will be a bit different than others where I might explain how to do something or discuss things the Lord has been working on me about. No, this time, I am making an interactive discussion post! And YOU get to play a major role in it. My hope is that through these discussions, we will each have a new revelation as to what our individual purposes are and how we know we're doing them.

What do you say? Want to join me on this quest? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Okay, today, let's just talk about what the Word of God says is our purpose. Please share as many Scriptures as you want!

Next week, we'll discuss how we discover our purpose and how it ties into our calling!

Please share this post, too! Someone may need a new revelation that only YOU can tell them!

Until next week...
